Whitney was so ready to start school. A few weeks before school started I asked her what she was most excited about Kindergarten. Her reply, "I don't know, I haven't been there yet". My dear you are so right. What a smart little girl.
Whitney jumped both feet in and road the bus the first day. She is in afternoon Kindergarten, so it was a little comforting that there were only 5 year old's on the bus. Whitney already has her bus buddies, Caelyn and Elsie. Caelyn was in the other class at preschool, so we reconnected the girls so they would have a familiar face.
School starts at 11:35am and lets out at 2:35pm. Getting home around 3pm. (Yay, mom gets some time alone while others nap!) They get the Kindergartner's on first and have them sit in the front rows, then load up the big kids. Whitney has also made friends with an older girl (she thinks 3rd grade) who is named Whitne(no "y"). Since all of this has gone so smoothly it has definitely made it easier on me. I had to dry my eyes the first morning but otherwise, it has been great.
Side note: Colin was a mess that whole first week. He was so sad to see his best buddy go away. We have had a lot of crying and not the best behavior. But to be expected. He has had to deal with a lot of changes in the last 7 months! He is always so excited when Whitney returns home. Little does he know he is sleeping for 2 1/2 hours while she is gone!
